can't britain is out the right side of the e.u. so can you deal with a mountain of debt itself. yes the u.k. can deal with a mountain of debt like many other countries the u.k. is a fundamentally sound economy and it will hopefully stay at least sort of sound despite the brics it if the u.k. pursues sensible economic policies in the future. oh and it appears we've just lost our expert. which of course is a pity we'll try to get him back hold this meeting from bamberg bank and he was well that happens with skype from time to time let's move on however because we do have another report for you that stays with britain it's been especially hard hit by the pandemic with more than 44000 people having died from the disease so far all in an attempt to flatten the curve greater manchester that's one of the united kingdom's biggest urban areas in the north of the country is to enter a new lockdown on friday it is a major blow for the region's economy which is already struggling with high unemployment. manchester is going back into lockdown o

it's about even less than 1% of the gdp of britain.real stake here, which is 50% of the trade of this country. but i guess that because we are in a territory which is about identity politics, nationalism, britain is an island nation. this idea of take back our waters and take control back of our fish has really been a catalyst. a catalyst of many of the emotions behind the brexit vote. i believe that's why boris johnson is kind of touching on it so much, because it's a symbol. there is not much to be gained in the brexit deal when it comes to the economy, probably only pain and tears, but this idea we got back our waters is more important than other ideas. in a way, for president macron, he feels again that this centuries—old rivalry with britain across the channel is somehow coming back in the mind of people, and he feels that he has to defend the french fishermen. and so there was a lot of discussion in the french press these days to remind brits that actually, yes, the fish are in their water, but are actually born on the shallow wa

back in the ninety's both britain and the.so gadhafi as their enemy accusations of the bombing of a plane over lockerbie and other acts of terror had made the dictator an international pariah and his opponents were welcomed in the u.k. but with the rise of al qaeda the situation. changed and she regrouped in afghanistan although the removal of gadhafi remains their only goal there would down by the close proximity to a sama bin laden who was about to unleash the $911.00 attacks. if you were a north african but say like gadhafi you were just rubbing your hands with joy because you knew that all you needed to do to get significant western money technical support assistance in oppressing dissidents in your country was just tar them with a brush of affiliation with al qaida. gadhafi seized the chance to rehabilitate himself by offering to destroy his stocks of chemical weapons in return the west saw a chance to get involved with libya's immense oil reserves it could be a win win situation for both the losers where the. terrorists.

i'm dying to know when her ancestors moved to britain. another question you do address kind of the other way around in the book which is the importance -- it concerns the importance of these new instruments they had, this new knowledge, this economic sense, in the success of the british empire, and the specific wording from johnmer re weather what it the connection between the industrial revolution and -- that was started not long after this period and the introduction of the use of credit that helped support new industries and so on. >> right. the answer of course is, it's complicated. >> 15 minutes left so has to be a simple answer. >> the short answer is -- >> the version of the book. >> it's really -- what happens after the south sea bubble is the market crashes, thousands of people lose their shirts including very important people, people who you think of as having pull on the government and there was a lot of pressure from different places to try to make it right again, bail people out. >> yes. >> a proposal even just to reverse all

wales is shutting the border to people from high—risk areas in the rest of britain. square one, simon, a cry of frustration, all that sacrifice and where has it got us? but it was inevitable that we would find ourselves facing potentially a covid christmas until or unless there is a vaccine? i think that is right — most scientists said it would be a tough winter, the regular flu season coming along... we never eradicated it in the first place. if you have schools and universities and people going back to the office, most people thought this was inevitable. what is not inevitable and, as you said, there is a big debate about how we tackle this... as of midnight last night, london joined york and other parts of the uk... it's now half the population living under what we call tier 2, which means people from different households can't mix indoors at all. that is going to have very grave repercussions for some of our industries, hospitality... i was speaking to a pub owner in the east end of london the other day, she said she would usually have 100 people of capacity, it'

britain's intelligence is still very good. but i think we are going to see great britain leaning more and more on nato, but heaven knows what happens to nato if trump is reelected, given president trump's attitude towards nato. but at the end of the day, given what is happening in the ,tlantic relationship, china all provokes a very strong defense array for the european union, and britain needs that, too, because britain cannot go it alone. guy: if we end up getting to a deal and the end of the year will around, how different the relationship be? how much friction will there be come january 1 of next year? mujtaba: there's going to be a lot. the u.k. is leaving the single market in the customs union. most of those economic unions guarantee frictionless trade. what the government is planning to do is a zero tariff, zero quota trade agreement. so trade will be free, but not be frictionless. that is important to understand. even in the best case scenario, there's going to be substantial friction, so this is a hard brexit. in fact

but england and britain's specific political revolution makes the role of parliaments and running the country and the role of the money men in london in funding the country much more important than it had previously been. >> this is because they essentially a new set of tools and set of calibrating where money moves and how it works made it for the first time. that it was possible to try to manage an economy, basically. is that right, or a market. >> there were people who were thinking about running the whole sort of business of getting and spending for the nation in a way that would maximizenational power . a bought this in france, they bought it in london. there was this belief that on some way they had crackedit . and this is cartoon but it's a cartoonwith some truth to it . you can almost reduce the scientific revolution to 2 core concepts. one is that you quantify and mathematic size experience to gain more understanding and gain the ability to predict and hence manage the future. one of the critical things with some of the basic mathematical ideas of scientific relation includin

always i grew up in a moral britain in the 1960s, very moral britain. and all the sudden, i just noticed it had gone. sue and i would say, teach college sometimes. and i dose is not my students are bad people but they have not been given a moral vocabulary. even the words and if you ask what the word sin means, you cannot get a straight answer from people they don't have any conception of how to use that word or even character. i'm so comic is one explanation, i don't know if it's yours, is of course avoid said markets markets in stateless were hundreds of years. but they were counterbalanced by the soft morals and culture. in the u.s. i guess the uk the cult mainline protestant is a period it's a slow weathering of religious institutions and their influence that is not been replaced by anything. is that your basic interpretation? >> guest: that's absolute correct. i know in the states have been conscious of the fastest growing religious affiliation is none. 30% of young people identify as of no faith. but even the states is far, far more religious than

that is actually not a problem for britain britain remains one of the stronger economies in europe despite brics it if they don't get the brics it completely wrong then the british economy should be able to grow enough in coming years to start we kucing 1st the fiscal deficit and then hopefully the debt again the key is that britain in the future opposed to school policies which are good for economic growth and hence good for tax revenues higher brix it that is losing access privileged access to the e.u. market would of course make that more complicated all right in the meantime however we still have the pandemic and there are more lock downs to come in britain being hardest hit by the or sudden one of the hardest hit countries by the pandemic where is the silver lining right now. in the pandemic there is no clear silver lining at the moment but we do have the experience from the us and also from europe that for me the rise in infection is followed only by a much more modest lies in serious medical complications than in march and april also we have had medical progress we have the experien

to britain i mean you're saying that britain could be hiring security contractors they could be syrian rebels or not isn't it and i'm joking about the fact some people were claiming that those. those aerialist would be brought in as a watch out also to protect the energy infrastructure i'm saying this is not the case where you get foreign element look in visage only so-called mercenaries it's also in a whole so called lower tier and that would bring to your attention because been publicly accessible videos on best social networks with regard to greek army units lebanese army arabs russian army and. georgian army resident hard to get into the region. but this is a. human ambassador there is a there is a problem with these social media videos what have you made of the social videos media videos it's purported to show it raining in of course the border with iran and troops coming some people said to fight on the armenian side you've heard presumably the iranian government saying no we like russia and the united states just cease fire and the escalation we're talking about so. i can so. wi

always i grew up in a moral britain. i just noticed it have gone. >> i would say sometimes and when i noticed is not that they are bad people but they have not been given a moral vocabulary. and even the words. if you ask what the word sin means. you can't get a straight answer. i guess one explanation we have always had markets and states. they were counter balance by the moral culture in the u.s. and in the uk. i was called mainline protestant. it has not been replaced by anything. the religious affiliation 30% of young people identify as of no faith. it is far more religious than britain almost completely secular. religion doesn't have a voice her presence. and they want the basis of that morality that is so very british. it's an astonishing thing when you go back and in the 40s they're talking about britain as a gentle crowd. with people's manners. who is the gentleman thief. i was once in israel and there was a man i didn't like the british very much. but he said to me they cut could took it for granted. the brits a

britain's trump card was this an odd dam completed 1925. built on the blue nile in sudan it would help the irrigation of the gezi or area. but it also delivered an ominous signal to the egyptians for the 1st time in their history a dam built outside of egypt would affect the flow of the nile into their country. nationalists however continued to mobilize popular support against the british occupation. cooler heads in london began to realize that relations with egypt were deteriorating fast. something which could threaten british control over the suez canal. as before the river nile became a useful political tool this time for compromise rather than coercion. in may 929 notes were exchanged between the british high commissioner in egypt george lloyd and the egyptian prime minister mohammad mahmoud pasha. this diplomacy led to a landmark agreement in which britain awarded egypt exclusive control over the full course of the nile waters from egypt point of view the night 29 agreement also calls. and the tree. because here the british said that w

bill that boris johnson's government in britain has now put on track and still do to pass the house of british parliament goes directly against what has been previously agreed in the u.k. with all the agreement would cross halls and that has led to significant loss of trust there's a great sense here on the continent whenever it comes to a deal and talking about ratification that that bill would still be in the way and one lacks the political imagination right now after boris johnson put that bill on track claiming that that's the only way to guarantee british sovereignty that he would withdraw that so it's safe to say that love to have there's a deadlock and there's a clock ticking very loud and very fast because the final deadline for a potential new deal no future deal with the you is the end of december this year that is just around the corner and that's for sure also eve it is in fact no deal if that ends up being the result which side would fare worse britain or the e.u. . well if you look at the trade figures it looks like britain after all 47 percent of its exports go to the

a family who hoped britain could offer the brightest future.n, denied their dream. anita was nine. her little brother armin six, and just 18 months old, artin. his body has not been found. this is thought to be the last photograph of him. it was taken by a family friend, bilal, here in france, before the final, fataljourney. when you look at that photo now, what goes through your mind? what emotions? very sad, but maybe i cannot show my feelings. i love him, but inside i'm crying. the family were living in this bleak migrant camp in northern france after travelling from western iran. coffee over there. today a british charity were offering hot drinks and warm clothes. but there was nothing that could be done for the grief that many people told us they felt. i'm feeling frustrated, angry and heartbroken. my heart is really broken because of this family. i mean, i used to know the family, i played with the kids. it is heartbreaking. this 20—year—old man, fearful of revealing his identity, told us he came from the same city in iran where kurdish p

but why come to britain at all?l reasons, there are communities from every corner of the world here so many migrant also have friends or family they might be able to contact. we speak english, a language taught round the world. and some i think are motivated by what the people nothing hers tell them. they are known to lie about what life is like in the uk and create a false sense of urgency, go now before the rules change. britain does offer protection to round 20,000 refugees a year but covid has suspended most of those official routes from camps in syria, and other un camp, and even before the virus, for people in countries like iran, like sudan, there really were no safe and legal routes, as the man said, there is no way for them, which is why the smugglers are able to exploit their vulnerability and it leads to tragic consequences. many thanks. in the first weeks of the pandemic, at least 78 patients were transferred from scottish hospitals to care homes despite having tested positive for covid—19 — that's accor

demanding exact evidence for the latest tier one tier 2 system of coronavirus that we have here in britain is there a problem generally of scientific evidence i do independent sage so there's no scientific evidence for some of the to system itself i've been fighting the dependent stage quite quite close to it i do think that some of the recommendations have been made for examples of you know emergency measures to try and tackle the virus you know over 2 to me co 4 week period. really changed things around one of the problems i think has been that i don't think the government has been transparent enough with their data for independence age even to make recommendations for even city mayors as you mentioned to be able to you know make calls that are relevant to their region and that back of transparency that lack of openness has meant that the scrutiny can be the same as well so you know we have questions on the temp in confusion and why that's a measure they seem to be effective but we can also see all of the data and the reasoning behind the measures being shared with us and it's also much

you know that of course britain supported the rebels easy in syria to overthrow assad in syria but be that as it may the azerbaijani about to said why would they need syrian rebels who might not even be able to speak the same language they have enough troops to defend azerbaijan without using troops that were helping britain overthrow president assad in syria of course it's a big question why has your by jeremy has sold out it's already to turkey and now it's too grainy to own agenda at what henriques being to remake anything neighborhoods demeter east to export that stories of dynamics to our beach and of course as a writer has to answer that question what was its interest why did it mess up. with its own population equal for a terrorist fighters knowing that peace can have long term consequences for their own internal dynamics well they say they are there may be foreign contractors guarding energy infrastructure but then or taking al qaeda and isis day ash out of syria to fight against your country i want to clear something up as a mage on president's office tweeted armenia has fire
